I totally agree with you mate. It was their own fault to begin with. They knew the consequences and risked being caught which they were. Imagine what would have happened if they weren't caught.
Whenever these two people popped up in the news I could not stand hearing about them anymore. Respect the laws of other countries and we won't have this problem. The media tried to make them look like heroes and one of the national papers labeled them as "brave". Brave? Excuse me? They were two criminals! There was a random caller on a local radio station who called up and said they could not sleep because of this. It makes me sick, people didn't realise they were criminals.
I bet Australian's won't like it if other countries tell us how to conduct our own laws?
I wonder how this would have panned out if they weren't from Australia? It would definitely not be major headlines, just a mere footnote in the newspaper.
